Switch flipped

I feel completely excited about the little creative joy ride I have been on over the last few days.  My brain is flooded with imagery and ideas, I sometimes fear I will burst from my inability to contain it all.  Thank you to everyone who has entered the contest so far.  I love the idea for many reasons.  One, I get to see who's been reading but haven't revealed themselves in the past (hi, April and family!).  I also get the opportunity to create something.  While I enjoy creating things for myself, I really enjoy sharing it with other people.  Besides, consider it a little consolation prize for those of you that have stuck through me whining about not having any friends here ;).  I am quite excited about doing more giveaways in the future.  I over joys me to the brink of blasting off.

The Weekend Exposure Project, however, has to the highlight of my life in this moment.  I have struggled with the idea of what my community looks like.  Wanting so badly to connect but feeling unable to.  The blog form is so one sided, I report, you read.  So the interaction within the WE Project is what thrills me.  To reach out and use my site as the home base for a larger community.  I love that the two people who both, directly and indirectly, inspired it were the first two to jump on board.   Thanks Karen (an old friend) and Natalie (who I just "met" on friday)!

I have had some interesting learnings come up from the project as well,  all centered around control and letting go.  Firstly, my little control persona, who I like to call Queen Bee, is not so forgiving of rule breaking.  Specifically when it's her rules you break there may be repercussions later.  Secondly, I have had a good chuckle at peoples (including mine) ability to let go of words.  It is difficult to let go and let an image, just one random image, stand in to represent something that seems so complex.  So, I feel excited to let go, let people have their own experience and see how this project takes shape.  

Thank you all for joining me on my journey!
